Kim Bum, Lee Min-Ho, Kim Joon in Goo Hye-Sun’s Magic VIP premier showing

Goo Hye-Sun’s old friends from Boys Before Flowers have gathered to celebrate her debut as a movie director. Lee Min Ho, Kim Bum, and Kim Joon showed up for the movie Magic’s VIP premier showing. Looks like they are still close friends after all and Kim Hyun-Joong is probably just too busy with SS501 activities.

they are truly bestfriends, but wait!
where's Jung Il Woo anyway?hehe

LMH won the Best Newcomer & Best Couple Award with GHS @ KBS Drama Award 2009

Lee Min Ho was looking cute and polished at the Award :)

Once again, he won the Best Newcomer Award at KBS Drama Award 2009 after winning the same for the first time at Baeksang Award. Couldn't stop giggling watching him in suit.hehe. And luckily, he didn't trip this time.hehehe :D

he was nominated for the Best Newcomer together
with Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Bum, TOP Bigbang & anor actor (can't recall his name.huhu)

he met Yoona SNSD again!hehe :P

upon receiving the Best Newcomer Award, he said this:

My heart is pounding.
When I got a chance to play the lead role in the mini series as a nameless rookie, many people were concerned and worried about the fact.
Nonetheless, much support and backing led me to get through it.
I'd like to appreciate everybody having helped me.
I also want to pay honor to Song Byung Jun(CEO of Eight), Director Jeon Gi Sang, all staffs who had undergone hardship for BOF, and actors.
For having loved and supported me during the year of 2009, I'd like to thank my fans, including MINOZ.
To tell the truth, for the last 13 years, I haven't told my mom that I love her.
I'll say. "Mom, I love you."
Thanks!

p/s: his mom & older sis attended the award as well. love the part when he looked at his mom's direction & said "Mom, I love you" :)

Besides, he also won the Best Couple Award with Goo Hye Sun for BOF, together with couples from My Fair Lady, IRIS & My Perfect Sons. I believe they are the youngest among the couples.hehe

Goo Hye Sun won three awards this year (Congrats!!):

• 2009 KBS Drama Awards: Novella Drama Excellence Award - Actress (BOF)
• 2009 KBS Drama Awards: Best Couple Award (with Lee Min Ho in BOF)
• 2009 KBS Drama Awards: Netizen Popularity Award - Actress (BOF)

CONGRATULATIONS LEE MIN HO!!
i can't wait to see more of him in 2010!!!

Mr Brain & Ninja Assassin Review

it's been a long time I haven't written anything on movie or series review, isn't it? well, it's time to get hyper about them!hehe. recently, I watched the Ninja Assassin & japanese series called Mr. Brain. Let's start the review with Ninja Assassin.

NINJA ASSASSIN
Storyline:

looking at the title of the movie, everyone can predict that it is a ninja movie or something to do with the word "NINJA". If you do, then you're absolutely right. It's about Raizo (the name given to a little boy, Asian-looklike) who has been brought to a place with one purpose i.e. to be an assassin. The training went on based on Ninja tradition (i'm not sure whether this is based on true research or not but perhaps the director/scriptwriter made research about the ninja thing). the master kept mentioning that they are from the Uzuno clan which has the unbelievable power (as they could heal their wounds by meditating...huhu). in the earlier scenes you could see their routine; fighting, competing, pool of blood; although they were still young. the feeling of hatred was instilled in their hearts, and that is how they developed into a ninja. On teh other hand, day by day and as time passed, Raizo was close to a girl and this is when you could sense the smell of love between them (smell huh?hehehe). the girl always emphasized that she still has heart (which means that she's still a human) and it is shown when she refused to kill her friend in a battle. remember , they are ment to be assassins and they have no other choices except to abide by the orders given by their master. due to that, she was locked up and the only person concerned about her is Raizo. One day, she determined to escape and find her new life outside the place and she asked Raizo to come with her. as expected, Raizo refused by telling her that the place is his destination and this is when the storyline developed. she failed in the escape and was caught redhanded. and due to that, the master ordered a man called Takeshi to kill her. Knowing that Raizo has feeling for the girl, he gave a glance to Raizo before killing her. due to the killing, the betrayal began. After Raizo's first task of murdering a man, he attacked the master and the rest of ninja. what happen to him? you chould watch this movie. Although the New Moon is an IN thing today, but I chose to watch NInja Assassin instead, simply because i'm not a Twilight fan to begin with.

My (sincere) Comment:

To be honest, I watched this movie because of Rain. I'm not a big fan of him but I know how good he can be as an actor. I watched his acting in Sangdoo Go to School, Fullhouse, A Love to kill, I'm a Cyborg, but that's OK & Speed Racer as well. I must say I started to like his acting during the Fullhouse craze (hehe) and while watching A Love to kill, I cried like a crazy woman.hehe. Speed Racer is definitely the most lousy film I ever watched & the fact that Rain started his Hollywood acting career with this movie is simply wrong. But, he is fortunate because the Ninja Assassin is a good action movie; full with actions, swords, blood (erkk..). I must admit that the actions are too much to bear (at least for me) as I couldn't sit still until the end of the show. Luckily, I didn't bring my younger cousins (aged btwn 8-12 years old) although they kept insisting to join me. It's an okay movie, and it's better if you watch it in cinema instead of buying dvd and watch it at home. Make sure you have no problem with your heart or whatsoever ok!.hehe

MR. BRAIN
japanese series 2009

This is Takuya Kimura's latest series (correct me if I'm wrong) and as a tv lover, I always love Takuya Kimura. His earlier masterpiece, a famous japanese series called Beautiful Life is one of my fav series. In this drama, he is Tsukumo Ryusuke who is a weird, childish, yet brilliant neuroscientist working for the National Research Institute of Police Science (IPS). Tsukumo tackles Japan's most difficult-to-solve crimes and scandals with his most brilliant and twisted criminal minds. Acting in such a drama, I must say that this is a good start for him after few years keeping his distance from publicity. Like I mentioned earlier, Tsukomo is a weird creature who loves banana so much. His laughing is scary yet at the same time hilarious. It's a must-watch drama; just like CSI and other investigation series. And maybe because I'm so used to CSI, I could always predict who the culprit was.hehe. Watch it to determine whwther you have a criminal mind or not :P

I kinda miss korean F4.hehe.
it's a good thing that they are still keeping in touch with each other
(these photos are frm SOFF)

I am about to approach the DAY

did you know the feeling when you have received two news at the same time; one is good and another is bad? I did. The feeling is hmm...something that I cannot put into words. Especially when the bad news has a greater impact than the good one, that is UNBEARABLE. well, only God knows better...

Speaking of school, there is no one day without workload. Unlucky huh? and obviously tiring. But, this is the price to get a law degree.hehe. Neway, these are my need-to-do checklists (and i hope i can settle them within this weekend...lalalala. eventho it's impossible.hehe):

• Jurisprudence test + Oct 21 - check!
• Dateline Professional Practice assignment + Oct 23 - check!
• Evidence test + Oct 27 - check!
• Dateline Criminal Procedure assignment + Oct 30 - check!
  

*sigh*

LET'S MOVE ON

I'm counting days to meet (or see) Lee Min Ho in real life. Like I mentioned in the last entry, this could be my once in a lifetime chance to meet him; so you can understand how I feel about his visit to Malaysia. Honestly. I'm thrilled but at the same time, nervous (yeah, I am.thr is so much what-ifs in my head). To make my dream comes true, I'm (and still) planning all sort of things with few friends esp. Ilham (she's the real star-stalker!! MU players, Jason Mraz, Toni Qattan? just name it!hehe).

CAN YOU HEAR MY BRAIN'S WORKING?

As much as I need to bear with heavy workloads
and to sacrifice my ultimate beauty sleep,
I need my celebrity-gossips fix too :D

One

Dunkin Donut has released a new CF called Dunkin(g) Donut.
Mino, I love your expression!


Two

On Oct 15, Mino attended Dunkin Donut fansigning and as usual, he loves wearing a combination of Black & White (sometimes white & grey.hehe). Hot as always!

he's like a chameleon; changing his hairdo frequently.
Thumbs Up!

he took his fans' pic!! *jealous*

Three

Travel with Lee Min Ho pics are truly one of the kind :P

of all pics, i love him sitting on the toilet bowl! kawaii!!

Lollipop=Lee Min Ho
i wonder if he listens to Lollipop by 2ne1 feat. Big Bang
(he claimed that 2ne1 is his fav girl group.hehe. ME too!)

Four

eye-candies: You're Beautiful wallies!! (but i only post one). Now, i can have Geun Suk on my desktop.hehe :D
[updated: i visited You're Beautiful soompi forum and found out the fans r making a comparison btwn Geun Suk & Mino and silently criticized Mino.omg...i hate to say this, Mino is a way different frm Geun Suk... Geun Suk is cute but I don't find him good looking, he is indeed less masculine than Mino (of course!) and when it comes to acting, he seems to be so cautious with his face expression unlike Mino...huh!I already spilled out the beans. this is what you'll get when I say I hate when others are busy making such a lousy comparison!]

extra:

F4 on Japanese Mag
I'm not being biased, but looking at the pic (and other pics as well) you should know why
Lee Min Ho could gain so much attention after BOF
(even though i wonder why he wasn't recognized before!!)

I am about to approach the DAY

Boys Over Flowers Yokohama Event (New!)

Lee Min Ho before departing to Japan
(love the LV bag!)

Lee Min Ho upon arrival at Japan

swarmed by Japanese fans

The Premier Event for Boys Over Flowers was held at Yokohama National University Hall in Japan on Sept 5. BOF's cast; Lee Min Ho, Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Joon, Im Ju-hwan (Yi Jung's bro in BOF) and Kim So-eun (Gaeul) attended the event. Goo Hye Sun and Kim Bum didn't join this event but according to reliable sources, they will participate in another event held in the afternoon of Sept 6 (nice!!it's like a mini reunion of BOF.hehe). Once again, Mino surprised his fans by singing 'My Everything' while Joonie appeared on the stage with two other T-Max members singing 'Paradise' and 'Say Yes'. Hyun Joong sang two solo songs including 'Please Help' (he must be exhausted! he was in Malaysia last Friday & now, he's in Japan. btw, one Malaysian fan witnessed Hyun Joong lost balance of himself and almost fainted after the fanmeeting. Health should come first Leader!!)

F4's Photobook called SOFF is already released to public. Unfortunately, from what I heard, it's quite expensive. But again, if you wish to have in your possession the unseen photos of F4, this is your chance. GRAB it!hehe :D

These are few pics of Mino (it goes without saying that my primary concern is on Mino.
so, bear with it.hehe). these photos were taken during the filming of BOF (that's why Mino looks lil skinny in those pics.ehe.but, he's hotter & masculiner now.hahaha)





it's already 3am. i can't believe I've posted 2 posts in one night.hehe :)

i LOVE.love.LOVE to be HOME!

life is just perfect when i'm back at home. i don't have to think what time should i wake up. which cafe should i crash into for lunch. etc. there are countless reasons why
i LOVE.love.LOVE to be HOME!

this is what i'm doing at home. i'm meditating!ehe

1st update is on talkshows (ehehe.sgt keduniaan.ehe) frankly speaking, i love talkshows!!!i'm practically watching Oprah, Rachael Ray, Ellen DeGeneres & a new talkshow, Park Jung-Hoon Show at #303 (my fav channel..ehehe.it's accurate when my mom said, "she only watch Kbs World when i'm around".ehe). talking of Park Jung Hoon, i 1st watched the show on its debut, couple months ago. it's an interesting show (eventho i can only understand a simple (lil bit) Hangul but thanks to the English translation.ehe); i love his interaction with audiences as well as the guests (i'm hoping in the future, my McDreamy will be on this show..pray..pray.ehe).i never knew Korea has its own World-Class female soprano singer, who's recognized to be one of the best soprano singers in the world (she's performed couple times with Luciano Pavarotti...i wonder why i know him.i must hv been watching tv too much.or maybe surfing internet too much?i don't know.ehe). her voice, MasyaAllah! i'm impressed! of all genres, i never ever like jazz & tenor, but after listening to his singing, i think it makes me calm.weird huh?ehehe :D

2nd! in Malaysia, we have Akademi Fantasia, Mentor, Raja Lawak, One in a Miliion, Bintang RTM, Gangstarz, etc. it proves that we hv tons of reality shows & many malaysians are eager to be an artiste instead of being a lawyer, doctor, engineer, dentist etc. i'm not discriminating but i'm a bit disappointed with this scenario (it's just my personal opinion..don't judge me.ehe). of all reality programmes, i prefer One in a Million (no wonder i like Faizal Tahir!ehe...except for his new hairdo.ehe.is he trying to be another RAIN?well,i'm just saying...ehe). i watched the last concert, i think i like Tomok's performance (i hate to say this..bcos i know my friends will reply,"What?Tomok??"ehe.but, to be honest, yes..i think his last performance was much2 better than other contestants. Aweera was a bit off. Esther was so-so. Nine was also so-so. maybe because other contestants' performances were not too good, it made him stood up during the last concert. i might be wrong but like i said, i'm just saying...ehe.

3rd! i'm definitely having BOF withdrawal syndrome.ehehe.a friendly reminder to my cousin, syeena(thnks for reading my blog.ehe);"it may scare you to watch BOF till the end but make sure u'll prepare yourself mentally ok?".ehe. well, from a reliable information that i gathered throughout fangirling (ehehe.i never imagine myself fangirling like what i'm doing right now.ehe), there will be Boys Over Flowers Special on April 28 in which a teaser has come out illustrated that there will be an After School for F4. i'm not sure abt the details but i'm totally waiting for it!

4th! i watched a Levis fansigning event footage which Min Ho attended. im shocked when there's one guy hugged him tightly & Min Ho seems suprised too.ehe.poor him.many fans of him speculating that the guy maybe a gay who's trying to molest my Min Ho!!!!waaa!!scary.it's definitely a sexual harassment.haha.the guy's look is hmm..pervert!oh!my Min Ho must hv been in shock :D

my namja :D

Review: Boys Over Flowers (Kgotboda Namja)

Kgotboda Namja has finally come to an end yesterday after 3 months airing (25 episodes)

Thanks for the interesting drama! It lightened my days & I found my new obsession (by now u should know...ehe) I can’t afford but to make a review on it.

Let’s start with:

1. Lee Min Ho as Goo Joon Pyo

i. Goo Joon Pyo:

i. He’s a rowdy, eccentric man but faithful to one person. He’s very particular about what he’s wearing as Geum Jandi mentioned in one episode that, “He might be worry about himself from head to toe rather than think about his girlfriend’s style” (it’s true...like I mentioned earlier, he’s eccentric! ehe). He does everything like nobody’s business, he never cares about others. But, he's very attached to F4; as they are his childhood friends and they are like sworn-brothers to him, and it’s portrayed in his answer when Yoon Ji Ho asked what he will choose between love and friendship and he answered both! He’s brought up in a world full of luxury things (the fur is the disaster but it suits him well.ehe) but he never knew what family is. He’s rebellious almost the time. He ate alone, accompanied by his maids except when he’s with F4. After he met Jandi, life has been better for him. He enjoyed every moment he spent with Geum Jandi eg when they were trapped in a cable car (he wrote on the wall…Joonpyo hearts Jandi-1^st night together.cute.ehe), in New Caledonia (he surprised her with firecrackers), in the playground (he turned the playground into a fantasy park…cute!) and many more (lots of them!ehe). When his mother opposed to their relationship, he never gave up. Did I mention his mother is an evil mom?Madam Kang is nowhere to be found in this world (I hope). All she cares was the Shinhwa (the legacy built by his husband), she never knew what her children want (bcos she never cares!)

ii. Lee Min Ho:

I love Lee Min Ho's acting more than anyone else (i might sound biased but those who watch the drama must agree with me.his acting was superb and the transition from one mood to another can be seen through his eyes (*melting*.haha.ok,i try to be plain here..ehe). As i mentioned earlier in my first post on this drama,at the first instance,i was disturbed by his perm hair.it looked so not cool! But later i found the perm won’t look any better if it wasn't him (Min Ho)! Even though Jandi mentioned once that she hates Joonpyo's hair but i love it!haha. The character of Goo Joonpyo requires Lee Min Ho to learn many things eg golfing, horse-riding, kayaking, shooting, martial arts etc but his effort is finally paid off. he's young, handsome, tall, talented and now we can add RICH (he's now a hot commodity in Korea); he has everything (like Goo Joon Pyo). i love him! xoxo

2. Goo Hye Sun as Geum Jandi

i. Geum Jandi:

the character of Geum Jandi is known to be a plain girl and comes from a middle-class family. she is just a plain girl; i remember when Jandi asked Joonpyo why he chose her even though she’s not pretty, rich and smart and in reply, Goo Joon Pyo said because he doesn’t need her girlfriend to have those criteria because he claimed he has all (ehe) Goo Joonpyo is happy enough that Geum Jandi is a commoner Geum Jandi. And he's never let go off Jandi because Jandi is everything for him. Because of Jandi, he's able to know what family is,what it feels to be spoon-fed by a mother,what it feels to bathe in the public bath (i love this scene..he's so hilarious) and there is no reason why Joonpyo doesn't love her. Jandi is not expressive like Joonpyo as Joonpyo told her many times tht he loves her but she doesn't. But in episode 23, she confessed to him that she feels the same for him (giggling..ehe).

ii. Goo Hye Sun:

The first time i watched her acting was in the Strongest Chil-Woo (an epic drama & her co-star was Eric.yummy!ehehe). She looked pretty with the long hair and when i first saw her in BOF, I’m pretty much disturbed by her hair (again!) but then i realized her hair should be shorter as what it requires to be the character of a commoner Geum Jandi-the one who is not pretty, rich & smart..ehe. In the few first episodes, her acting was not so good (I wonder why) but later it improved episode by episode. Maybe she finally realized that she has to be good as well to balance her acting with Lee Min Ho's. i must say i love her most when she cries, she makes things sadder than i expected. her chemistry as Geum Jandi with Goo Joon Pyo is awesome and it makes us realized that they should end up together (on-screen of course!duhhh..ehe)

3. Kim Hyun Joong as Yoon Ji Ho

i. Yoon Ji Ho:

It’s a known fact in the drama that Yoon Ji Ho is Geum Jandi’s first love (and the life-saver!). He’s everywhere, for Jandi. And even Joonpyo knows that his best friend, Ji Ho has a same feeling for Jandi. But Ji Ho can do nothing but to accept that Joonpyo is the only one for Jandi (I remember when Ji Ho confessed his love to Jandi, she said that she can’t let go off the star & moon necklace given by Joonpyo). Ji Ho is someone you can’t resist (someone who keeps coming to you esp. during the hard time) but love is different. It’s not about someone who is there for you but someone you want him/her to be with you. That’s the reason why Jandi can’t accept Ji Ho (well…I obviously go for Jandi & Joonpyo!)

ii. Kim Hyun Joong:

In the first few episodes, his acting was terrible! But later it developed (thank God!). Hyun Joong is already famous bcos of his group-ss501 but i think by acting in this drama, he exposed himself to another dimension as his acting was getting better episode by episode (except for crying scenes...haha.he looked funny when he cried...so unnatural..) but overall, his existence as a soulmate to Jandi Should be given an applause (i hate this idea of soul mate..bcos the soul mate should be Goo Joon Pyo. How can someone be your lover and another be your soulmate? It doesn't make sense). But, it’s almost true that he is Jandi's life-saver.

4. Kim Bum as So Yijung

i. So Yi Jung:

He’s a Casanova but he has the best manner among the F4. He knows how to treat women (i remember when he scolded Joonpyo when Joonpyo left Jandi without saying a word.He was totally angry as he said,"i never treated girls like you did"). Knowing that Yijung has a father who abandoned his mother and flirted with many women, you can’t blame everything on him. i think in the manga, he and Gaeul are not supposedly to end up together but due to requests from fans, they did (nice!)

ii. Kim Bum:

Kim Bum is cute.ehe (my friends-Kinah & Nab fell for him..ehe). His acting was good (extra: he was nominated for the Best New Actor award in 45^th Baeksang Award for his role as younger Song Seung Hun in East of Eden but Lee Min Ho won this category). i love his 5 seconds kill (like Woo Bin said..ehe), Kim Bum succeeded in his attempt to bring out the character of So Yijung.

5. Kim Joon as Song Woo Bin

i. Song Woo Bin:

He is Prince Song; a son of a tycoon (and a mafia). He's cool. When i first wrote abt this drama, i did mention that his character is the least known member of F4 (just like it's portrayed in manga), but in the korean version as many requests (frm fans) have been made to the production to increase Woo Bin's appearance, you can see him quite a lot in the drama. He is at his best when he teams up with So Yijung.

ii. Kim Joon:

as a new actor(similar with Kim Hyun Joong,Kim Joon has a group,T-Max), Kim Joon did pretty well, except for his hoppers' words eg Yo!Wussup? etc...ehe. and he should be thankful for his good look.ehe (my friends think he's hot too..ehe)

i know there would be break-ups,amnesia and whatsoever but i wasn't sure before the finale,whether these couple would end up together or not.

luckily, it's a happy ending for Jandi & Joonpyo.*yahooo*

the best ever F4
i could see the awkwardness among them in the New Caledonia scenes (because those were the earliest scenes they filmed together) but later i can see the friendship among them
(esp. in the Baeksang Award)

THANKS FOR THE BEAUTIFUL,AMUSING,LOVELY K-DRAMA!

-The End-

now,let's start revising!
Professional Practice.Criminal Procedure.Civil Procedure.
Jurisprudence.Evidence.Public International Law
can be fun sometimes.haha :D

bonus: i leave you with a short vid of Lee Min Ho's dance for his CF :D

music.book.lee min ho

alhamdulillah.i managed to complete my cpc assignment earlier (as i planned) which is scheduled to be submitted by 1st April.

i dun hv cls today which is great.ehe. but right now i'm in Aikol, printing my assignment.

the korean drama of the year Boys Before Flowers/Boys Over Flowers will end tomorrow (i'm sad.isk.it'll end on time b4 my exam..uhu). i started writing abt the drama since Jan 17.the 1st time i watched the drama,i already fell in love with it (its the best version so far!)esp. Lee Min Ho (duhh..ehe). Lee Min Ho's acting was great for someone at his age (22/23 korean age) and as a proof, he won the Best New Actor in 45th Baeksang Award. the drama gained so much attention from the media,fans & critics (i think the last korean drama has ever received such attention (less than BOF i think) was Fullhouse).

i'm not sure whether this korean version of Hana Yori Dango will end happily or not but from the relevant sources,it's going to have a happy ending and the following pic is a part of the ending.

Joon Pyo & Jandi...a proposal?

my exam will start on April 5 and end on April 16. i hv lots to revise and i really need to start revising from today!
